Gary Sinise reveals his wife Moira was battling stage 3 breast cancer just BEFORE their son was diagnosed with Chordoma - following tragic news of his death


Gary Sinise revealed that his wife Moria Harris was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, just before they learned their son McCanna 'Mac' was also suffering from cancer.

In June of that year, my wife Moira was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and after surgery to remove lymph nodes, she began chemotherapy and radiation,' he wrote in the tribute. His son Mac had worked with the Gary Sinise Foundation and had supported his father's Lt. Dan Band as a fill-in drummer until repeated spinal surgeries and the advancement of his cancer in recent years forced him to step away. Mac had studied at the University of Southern California's Thorton School of Music, where he had begun work on an unfinished composition later titled Arctic Circles — 'inspired by the wintery nature shows he loved watching while lying in his hospital bed' — and he became determined to complete it before his time was up.
